Jo...

I'm so very sorry to hear about the loss of your joeys! Bumble and her joey/joeys ( still cant tell but I think its one ) are comming along just fine, it was 1/2 out again today... Sassy's two seem to be going well so far, pouch is still open alittle, I can see parts of them...and today they were fussing alittle ( noise wise I mean ) in her pouch... but I'm still worried about her... since supposedly last time she had joeys and they were almost OOP she lost them :( but I have my fingers ( and toes ) crossed!!!

As for feeding them, I give them basically all the meal worms they can eat, I know about the "shells" supposedly being bad for them, but they just spit that part out... and as for added fat... I'm more worried about them loseing the joeys... they also get a fairly large bowl of fatfree fruit on the bottom yogurt each nite ( along with their fruit/vegies/chicken breast ) so I have really upped the proteins and calcium... but like I said they seem to be doing great... I hope everything works out for you!
